Resumen:
A comparison of the Potential Dermal Exposure (PDE) of workers to the insecticide
deltamethrin was made as a function of crop type, in small agricultural production units in
Argentina. Seven experiments were done with two different crops (maize and broccoli, treated
area between 600 and 1000 m2) with three different operators under typical field conditions
using a lever operated knapsack. The methodology is based on the whole body dosimetry
technique, presenting separately the data for mixing/loading and application activities. These
results indicate a higher concentration of pesticide in lower body sections for broccoli and a
wider distribution for maize. The risk inherent in these agricultural procedures is estimated
through Margin of Safety (MOS) values and was found to be generally safe.
Preliminary results of a mass balance distribution of the pesticide between crop, soil and
operator are also presented.
